Emily Saunders + Dagda Quartet

Emerging vocal star Saunders has that rare combination of a seductive, silky-smooth voice and an effortless ability to write mesmerising melodic Brazilian-tinged modern jazz. Here launching her fine debut album 'Cotton Skies' (F-ire Records), Saunders is almost certainly a UK answer to the similarly alluring style of US vocalist Gretchen Parlato. Guitar-led folk-jazz-klezmer group DQ support.
